Sorry. I was wondering for quite some time what is happening as I use
development Emacs version. It was so annoying. Now when I know what is
going on I can turn it off.

So far I was thinking that most common Org writing is like this:

* Heading
** Second
*** Third
**** Fourth

And not like:

* Heading
  ** Second
     *** Third
         **** Fourth

As that is how ugly and less visible it should look like if the same
principle should be followed. As if somebody forces me to indent list
items like that, then they shall also force headings. So consistency
is lacking. /s

Please send that to those people to reconsider taking it back.
